Energy development projects presented in Penza

On March 20, Penza State University hosted the qualifying stage in the field of "Electric Power Engineering" of the Student League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship.

The Student League is held in the format of face-to-face qualifying stages, remote semi-finals and face-to-face finals. Participants in teams of 3-4 people solve engineering cases in the field of electric power industry, dedicated to real production problems and developed based on materials from industry enterprises. The theme of the season is extremely relevant in the new realities — it is "Technological innovations". It is directly related to one of the most important tasks for our country — strengthening Russia's technological sovereignty.

The annual competition of engineering minds is held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities" with the aim of popularizing engineering and technical education and training specialists for leading Russian companies. The partner of the direction is PJSC Federal Grid Company — Rosseti (PJSC ROSSETI), one of the world's largest public electric grid companies in terms of length of lines and transformer capacity. The referral case is dedicated to the topic: "Development of technical measures for the construction of overhead lines from large-scale generation (for example, Novovoronezh or Kursk NPP) to an energy-deficient area using alternating current or direct current technologies with technical and economic justification."

The participants of the championship were welcomed by the guests: Gennady Kozlov, Director of the Polytechnic Institute of PSU, Sergey Kireev, Dean of the Faculty of Industrial Technologies, Electric Power Industry and Transport, Dmitry Sagaidachny, Deputy Minister of Housing and Communal Services of the Penza region, and representatives of the branch enterprise Denis Samarkin, Deputy Director for Sales and Development of Services of the branch of ROSSETI Volga — Penzaenergo Tatiana Chichkina, Head of the Human Resources Department of the RossetiVolga branch — Penzaenergo.

Words of greeting, parting words and support were given to the members of the seven teams. "Arkaim", "Atomic Guys", "Switch", "Kilowatt", "Earth in the porthole, "Burn7" presented their vision of solving technological problems, which was then considered by the jury. As a result of the selection, the Burn7 team won, and it also advanced to the next stage, which will be held in Samara.

"The construction of direct current transmissions (DCT) in Russia is an important task. This area is included in the priority tasks of innovative development of PJSC ROSSETI and is approved by the passport of the innovative development program of PJSC ROSSETI. The participants will have to develop interesting projects with technical and economic justification. We hope that your fresh perspective and solutions to existing problems will help us both: realize your potential, and find those who are ready for work and innovative solutions," said Denis Samarkin.

The mentors of the teams were also awarded with letters of thanks.
